Ratings and Scheduling: We Don't Need No Damn Breaks

[Meredith Quill]

Your Ratings and Scheduling Topic!

A 1.0/5.44M. That's awful. I wonder if we'll even get a second episode.

While that's not good for a pilot, we have to wait for the 2nd and 3rd week to really get a feel for the ratings. If they hold steady it should be okay. It's better than what Agent Carter got and that lasted 2 seasons.

I think ABC will stick with it for a bit because its a procedural, and the holidays might be a bit awkward if Channing cancels her sister's show.

Holy shit that's terrible but you have to balance against what ABC is doing overall. ABC's new shows are really struggling right now so it should hopefully make it a season.

I got to assume having a Dungey on the show gets it a bit of a reprieve, but likely not too much. I doubt it'll grow its audience since the feedback has been lukewarm at beast but I agree with everyone else who thinks that if it can hold most of that audience week to week it might get to play out its season.

I think back on Forever that got to the point where it obviously wasn't getting a season two but it was cheaper to go ahead with it for the season than to switch it out on the schedule. This could easily end up like that.

The final ratings versus preliminary seem even worse:

0.9/3 and 5.17 viewers.

I hope things improve.  I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the pilot!

Well, it's a good thing i didn't like the pilot because those ratings are horrible. 

[Sakura12]

They went down in the early ratings 0.9 and 4.65 viewers.

[Tiger]

Preliminary numbers for week 2 are dead even with week 1 live + same day.  

I havent seen any live + 3 or live + 7 for week 1 yet.

So no one saw it, but if you happened to see it you came back? I guess finals will tell.

"The series launched on October 3rd and attracted a 0.92 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.17 million viewers. It was a disappointing start to be sure. The second installment fell more than 15%, registering a 0.78 rating with 4.23 million.

While it’s still early in the season, the ratings for Conviction so far have been terrible. It’s the network’s lowest-rated series in the demo with a 0.85 rating and 4.7 million. Last season, Castle (which was cancelled) averaged a 1.08 in the demo with 6.20 million viewers."

From here. Not great, to put it mildly! Episode three was down again in the 18-49 demo, as well.

Was the series canceled?

And on election night? Interesting, if true.

I just watched this (while bored); wow, it didn't even make a full season. I am not surprised, the writing was astonishingly amateurish.
